A: This FAQ mainly started as a (complete) song translation. After that, I decided it would be helpful if I can translate and give more information and hints. This FAQ is for any player, not just for hunting horn players, that wants to understand hunting horns better. Q: What is a hunting horn? A: A hunting horn is one type of a weapon in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd. It's key feature is to play songs that mainly buff yourself and your allies. Hunting horns mainly deal impact damage, which can drain the monster's stamina and deal KO damage when hit in head. Hunting horn can also do slash damage by the hilt stab. Q: How do I play songs? I can't make any notes A: Hunting horn got a huge overhaul from the other games in the series. You gain notes by attacking regularly. To be more specific, you gain the first note by attacking with /\, second note with O, and the third note with /\+O. After you get a specific sequence of notes, you can play the song by pressing R. After the effect of the song occurs, you can press R again to do a chain recital. Becareful though, you cannot cancel the motion other than to get hit. Q: I forgot how to play this song on this hunting horn. A: Press start and look at the hunting horn in equipment detail. After you scroll through a few pages, all the songs that specific hunting horn can play is listed. At this point, it is in Japanese. Q: Why does HP heal small/medium/large do less healing sometimes? A: There's a chance (around 66%) that the HP heal songs degrade. With flute master, the chance to degrade becomes 50%. Q: What does the skill flute master do? A: Flute master increases the duration of the songs you play. It also decreases the chance that HP heal songs degrade. There may be more effects. Q: What's a good armor set to start out with? A: Buy or make the bone set. You can buy this after finishing the *1 village quests from the equipment vendor. It gives you flute master, KO+, and gathering+1. The next in upgrade would be the peco set. It gives you flute master, widearea+1, recovery item up, and almost detect (need 4 more or 2 decorations). The peco set is one of the best party support set, and will last you until high rank. Q: What's a good hunting horn to start out with? A: The default old yukumono horn is great to start with. It has a decent song set, and it upgrades to variety of different hunting horns. I recommend upgrading it into yukumono horunn, as the material requirements are easy and has great sharpness at that level. Q: How do I make the flute decoration? A: You need one sunspire jewel, one funny beak (from qurupeco), and one hunting horn (buy it from the general vendor). ----------------------------------- 1B =Specific Q/A= ----------------------------------- Q: How do I know if I have the self weapon no bouce (ESP) buff? The buff symbol remains the same. (by MonthOLDpickle) A: The only way would be know which message is the ESP and movespeed up because the buff symbol next to your name doesn't change. If you know the difference between kanji and regular characters, the first one (move speed) is all kanji except one and the second one (ESP) the only kanji is the first 2 characters. The ESP notice box is also a bit larger. One way to be sure you got ESP is to do the W+W (or P+P) when you still have the blue buff symbol. Q: Can you go more indepth about the recital attacks? A: Recitals work this way: Once you get the specific sequence of notes from doing attack motions (let's say W R R), you can press R after an attack, during idle, or unsheathe recital (R+/\+O) to go into recital mode. During recital mode, you cannot do anything until the first recital is over (when the text box comes up). Right after the text box comes up and you gain the song effects (W R R attack up in this case), you can do nothing (takes a second or two and go into idle), dodge by pressing X (+ analog), or do a second (chain) recital by pressing R (+ analog). If you don't go into the second recital, all your notes are cleared up. If you go into the second recital, there's 4 moves you do depending on the # of notes of the song and the analog. The direction you have to have your analog might be different if your camera/character isn't facing forwards. With the analog being neutral or forward/backward, you do a back/upswing while moving back (extra swing/hit with 3-4 notes songs) (so no forward movement). With the analog being sideways, you do a left/right swing while moving in the direction of your analog (extra swing/hit with 3-4 notes songs). After the attack movements, you play the same song you played during the first recital (W R R, further increase attack and duration if you still have the first buff up). After the text box comes up for the second recital, you can either dodge with X (+ analog) or do nothing (goes back to idle). The notes are cleared after the second recital or during the second recital if you get interrupted. ======================================================= 2A =Armor skills= ======================================================= Here are the (translated) armor skills and their descripton that compliment the Hunting Horn. -Attack up small/medium/large: Increases your attack power by 10/15/20. -Defense up small/medium/large: Increases your defense by 10/15/20. -Fire/Thunder/Ice/Water/Dragon Elemental attack up +1/2: Increases the specific elemental damage on your weapon and bowgun shots by 10/20% -Elemental Attack up: Increases all elemental damage on your weapon and bowgun shots by 10%. Stacks with specific elemental attack up. -Status attack up: Increases the status damage value you do. Good for HH with status elements for extra support. -Critical Eye +1/2/3: Increases Affinity by 10/20/30%. Affinity gives you a chance equal to the percentage to do 25% more damage. -Fire/Thunder/Ice/Water/Dragon Elemental resistance up small/large: Increases resistance the specific element by 5/10 and reduces/negates the effect of the specific blight. -Negate wind/Completely negate wind: Negates or completely negates wind. Can be covered HH songs. Can give you time for extra attacks/item usage and prevent getting hit from attacks right after. -Earplugs/High grade earplugs: Negates most sound/roar attacks from monsters. Can be covered by HH songs. Can give you time for extra attacks/item usage and prevent getting hit from attacks right after. -Sharpness +1: Increases the sharpness level of your weapon. Since sharpness level affects damage, this skill increases your damage output. -Sharp Sword: Decreases sharpness usage to half. Increases damage output in most cases. -Fast sharpening: Decreases whetstone usage time. -Evade +1/2: Increases the invulnerability time during dodges. This enables you to dodge attacks by dodging into it. Good skill to have as you cannot block with a hunting horn. -Evade Distance: Increases the dodge distance. -KO+: Increases the KO value you do by 10%. Makes KOing monsters a bit easier, but you may not notice it much. (Check the damage table for more info) -Exhaust Damage up: Increases the exhaust damage you do by 20%. For hunting horn, this affects every attack except the hilt stab. (Check the damage table for more info) -Flute Master: Increases the duration of songs and decreases the chance that HP heal songs degrade. Also lessens the chance that item horns break. Key skill for most hunting horns, but not required. More of a personal choice. -Widearea +1/2: Potion, herb, armor/might seed, antidote, and anti-blight seed also do 50/100% of the effect to your party members. One of the best support skills. Makes hunting go much smoother. Adds another layer to the HH's support. Keep in mind that you have to sheathe to make use of this skill. This might interrupt your note chain, as unsheathe attack produces white/purp. -Detect/Auto-tracking: (Detect) Monsters show up on the map at the beginning of the hunt and every 5? minutes. Painted monsters show extra detail. (Auto-tracking) Monsters always show up on the map with extra detail. Another skill that makes hunting smoother. -Speed Eating +1/2: Increases meat eating speed (1) and increases item consuming speed (2). Compliments nicely with widearea. -Fast Sheathing: Decreases time to sheathe weapon. -Determination (Honki/chikara no kaihou, Release of Power) +1/2: After meeting a certain criteria, the player is buffed. Still unsure on the exact way this is activated, and what it does. In early testing, damage and time plays a key role to activate, with possibility of other variables. When this is active, you gain affinity and reduces stamina usage. Activates about every 5 minutes for 90 seconds. The stamina reduction isn't really needed for hunting horn so it's probably better to go with other skills. Leaving this here as a lot of people have questions about this skill and potientially a decent skill for hunting horn. -Tsuugeki, Weakpoint attack, Exploiter, Stinger: Attacking the monster's weakpoints (hitzone value is 45 or over) gives you 50% affinity. -Juugeki, Destruction King: Makes it easier to break monster parts. ======================================================= 3A =Equipment recommendations= ======================================================= None of the reccommendations require specific charms as it is hard to obtain the same exact charm.

If you try to do the same attack again, you will alternate into the other attack of the same note type. Forward slam <--> Left swing Right swing <--> Hilt stab Uppercut <--> 2 hit pound Hilt stab does slash damage instead of impact, which means you can cut tails. Recital attacks: First Recital: R + /\ + O (unsheathe), Idle + R, R after Left or Right swing = Swing recital R after Forward slam or 2 hit pound = Kick up recital R after Uppercut or Hilt stab = Lift up recital Second (Chain) Recital: Two notes: Neutral/Forward/Backward Analog + R = Back and upswing recital (2 hits) Sideways Analog + R = Left/Right swing recital Three or four notes: Neutral/Forward/Backward Analog + R = Greater back and upswing recital (3hits) Sideways Analog + R = Greater left/right swing recital (2 hits) The Left/Right recitals are faster to go into playing position in chain recital compared to Neutral/Forward/Backward recitals. The 2 notes (W+W/P+P) songs are faster to go into playing position in chain recital, as they do not get the extra hit of the 3-4 notes songs. The Neutral/Forward/Backward recital moves you backwards. The Left/Right recital moves you left/right. There are no recitals that moves you forwards. You cannot dodge until the song effect occurs. Damage, exhaust damage, and KO values: These are all approximations. They might not be 100% correct. ============================================================================== | Attack motion | KO value | Exhaust dmg | Damage | ============================================================================== | Forward Slam | 20 | 20 | 33 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Left/Right swing | 20 | 15 | 30 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Hilt stab | 0 | 0 | 10 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Uppercut | 25 | 20 | 45 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | 2 hit pound | 5+15 | 10+45 | 15+45 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Swing recital | 22 | 22 | 35 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Kick up recital | 15 | 20 | 20 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Lift up recital (from hilt stab) | 22 | 22 | 25 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Lift up recital (from uppercut) | 25 | 22 | 30 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Back and upswing recital | 25+25 | 22+22 | 40+30 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Left/Right swing recital | 22 | 22 | 35 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Greater back and upswing recital | 22+25+25 | 22+22+22 | 33+40+30 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Greater left/right swing recital | 22+22 | 22+22 | 33+35 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All KO, exhaust, and damage value gathered from 2ch hunting horn thread. Sharpness does not affect KO values. Sorry for the misinformation. KO+ increases KO value by 10%, rounded down.
